Can I talk to you, Oboro?
Lord Takumi! Did you need something?
Last time I was in town, I happened into a big clothing store. Trying a few things on reminded me of how you coordinated my last ceremonial outfit. Everyone complimented me on my style at the time. And I remembered that I never thanked you for that, so...thanks.
Oh...you're too kind, Lord Takumi!
But selecting outfits is all part of the job of a retainer. Just say the word, and I'll gladly tailor an outfit for you anytime.
Really? You can do that too?
Of course! Tailoring runs in my family.
Though I'm the only one left...
Oboro...
Sorry! I didn't mean to get mopey. But yeah, bandits killed my parents a while back. I don't think much about the family business these days.
You're not harboring some secret desire to become a fashion maven? You don't have to lie about it just because you're my retainer.
I would never lie to my lord!
I'm happy enough serving you, and I mean that. Now, if I said I had no interest in fashion at all, THAT would be a lie. But I get a thrill out of hearing people say how good I am at selecting your clothes.
It shows I haven't lost my touch at making people look good!
Well, wait, you make it sound like I don't look good all the time.
N-no! That's not what I meant at all! Lord Takumi is the picture of elegance!
Very few are innately noble enough to carry off such splendor!
...OK, it sounds fake when you overdo it like that.
I'm just telling it like it is! I'm satisfied with whatever I can do to make you look even more dashing.
Well...if you say so. I'll need your help again someday, Oboro.
Once everything settles down and I have the opportunity to wear something nice.
I'd love to help! I've got so many ideas...
I'll look forward to seeing what you can come up with.
